Subject: "Entry level pricing"

.  The average price of entry-level broadband for 5 major providers
moved
from $50 a month in 2001, to $33 in 2004, to $25 in 2007. Verizon‚s own
entry-level price in 2009 is $17.99 a month, with a 12 month contract.

From what I can tell, "entry-level" tends to mean a) low speed that is broadband only by US carriers' slippery standards; b) a come-on price that rises at the end of the contract; or c) both.
